Scarborough Fair / 畢業生 / 往日情懷

　

Scarborough Fair By Paul Simon & Garfunkel Written by Paul Simon   Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine   Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)   Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme (Washed is the ground with so many tears) Between the salt water and the sea strand (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine   Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And to gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine   Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine

畢業生 演唱:張明敏   蟬聲中那南風吹來 校園裏鳳凰花又開 無限地離情充滿心懷 心難舍師恩深如海 　 回憶當年離鄉背井 深夜裏夢回舊家園 遊子的熱淚沾濕枕畔 最難忘父母的慈顏 　 還記得那陽光遍地 也記得寒風又苦雨 無論是快樂失意日子 最溫暖美好的友誼 　 祝福聲中默默回憶 琴聲淒驪歌正悠揚 莫猶豫也莫再遲疑 好男兒鵬程千萬裏     　 　 　 往日情懷  演唱：殷苗苗   人來人往的地方 有多少歲月感傷 往日情懷又烙在心上 懷念家的幸福時光   歌聲傾訴著過往 南風又輕輕吹動 風的盡頭就是我的家 怎能不日夜思念   飛到無邊的天涯 總想回到夢的地方 夕陽下湖畔我的情人 可曾記得遠方的人   人來人往的地方 有多少歲月感傷 往日情懷又烙在心上 懷念家的幸福時光

“Sentimental value”. Good thought, Suxiang! People should all hold onto those valuable sentiments as they are what who they are, and a part of their being.

回複edrifter的評論:

沒錯，我也是先聽張明敏的畢業歌，可當時沒有去好好理解歌詞的含義，也理解不透，20多年後，歌裏一切都成為真實和現實，無法不感慨萬端。

流行，校園歌曲剛盛行那幾年，喜愛的歌曲中有多少是重新填詞翻唱的版本，後來續聽到了原版，感受迥異。 總之能跨越時代令人不離不棄的歌詞和旋律，都是珍貴的，即所謂 sentimental value~~~

【Scarborough Fair 笑話】

We had just finished listening to an old Simon and Garfunkel tune when my young daughter asked,

“Well, did he?”
“Did he what?” I asked back.
“Did Parsley save Rosemary in time?”

老歌可以禦寒？This is what we need right now.:-)

聽一首歌的不同版本就好比是找異性朋友，第一個可能不是最好的，但總是最有意味的一位。當然，也有例外。我第一次聽這首個歌是張明敏的“畢業生”，一時間驚為天“人“，以為這是校園歌曲中最好的一首，以後每每聽到，總是情有所係。後來聽了Paul Simon & Garfunkel 版，才知道這是一首敘事民謠風格的愛情歌曲，其中的生活場景和戰爭的敘述加深了愛情故事的內涵。

回複melly的評論:

對了。雖然 Garfunkel 是主唱，但 Paul Simon 的和聲絕對是不可或缺的，their vocal harmony 隻能用天衣無縫來形容。 可惜，他們後來各自跑單幫了。 大概天才的人生都是遺憾的。

懷舊經典，多多益善，多多益善。

這兩天早晚才30多華氏度，把偶這個南方佬凍得，老歌取暖最好 :))

喜歡這樣的懷舊情結。 有位老鄉說得好，懷舊不是衰老的症狀，而是種清醒的自知，充滿淒楚的美麗懷舊情結，讓人回顧過去也珍視曾經所擁有過的。

還是原汁原味的更加順耳，尤其和聲部分。
